Our Junior High School Camp is designed for maximum adventure and fun, adding even more advanced activities like zip line and overnight hikes. Campers spend 6 days at camp with their friends and peers, participating in daily fun diabetes education activities structured to their age group.

Camp Leo's Junior High School Camp Session is for campers entering grades 8 or 9 in fall 2019.

This camp session gives campers the opportunity to make friends and take steps toward managing their diabetes independently. Campers practice skills like learning to give and rotate their own insulin injections and pump sites, regular blood sugar testing, increased skills with carb counting, and balancing meals with insulin and activity.

Partial and full scholarships are awarded based on financial need, which is calculated by family size and adjusted gross family income compared to federal poverty guidelines.

Junior High School camp activities

Splish-splash! A daily dip in the pool is one of the most popular activities at camp and a great cool-down from the hot summer sun. All water activities are supervised by registered life guards and medical staff.

Nestled in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, camp is surrounded by some of the most spectacular hiking trails in the nation. Campers of all skill levels develop a deep appreciation for the breathtaking beauty of Washington's streams, rivers, and woods.

Campers get active together playing traditional field games like Fire in the Forest, Capture the Flag, and Night at the Museum and specially developed Camp Leo games like giant checkers, jenga, and battleship!

Camp Leo is fortunate to have hosted many inspiring guest speakers. From Super Bowl winners, to Iron Man athletes, to the creator of the first closed-loop artificial pancreas, our guest speakers are living proof that people with diabetes don't let anything stand in the way of their success.

Diabetes education happens both formally and informally at camp. We believe the greatest education comes from "teachable moments" throughout the day and the learning that happens when sharing ones experiences of living with diabetes. In addition, the daily schedule includes a structured “DiabEducation Activity” that is designed for the learning needs of each age group. Activities range from experiential education, to diabetes BINGO, to fun art projects to help campers learn and practice good diabetes management skills.
